WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Transport Group presents the New York premiere of the musical See Rock City & Other Destinations, featuring music by Brad Alexander, with book and lyrics by Adam Mathias. Jack Cummings III directs.
This contemporary pop-rock musical road trip ventures to tourist destinations across America, mapping out stories of sightseers in search of fellow travelers: a wanderer believes his destiny is written on rooftops along the North Carolina interstate; a young man yearns to connect with intelligent life in Roswell, New Mexico; a woman at the Alamo steps out of the shadow of her past to take a chance on love; estranged sisters cruise to Glacier Bay to scatter their father's ashes; high school boys face unexpected fears in a Coney Island spook house; and a terrified bride-to-be ponders taking the leap...over Niagara Falls. See Rock City & Other Destinations creates a vivid travelogue of moving characters and connections missed and made along the way.
The musical is the winner of the 2008 Richard Rodgers Award and the 2007 Jerry Bock Award.

Combined, the pieces feel like a slim volume of short stories that have come to life on the stage. And from the opening sequence, which focuses on Jess (Bryce Ryness), a young man who's trying to connect to the world around him, to[...]
